Ce n'est pas "l'histoire littéraire" au sens de l'histoire des auteurs et des oeuvres, mais au sens de la conception et des inspirations de la critique littéraire allemande (et cela seulement depuis les cent dernières années), donc de ce que les Allemands (depuis Theodor Mundt, au milieu du 19e siècle) appellent la "Literaturwissenschaft", "science de la littérature".

Elle nous fait revivre des scènes et des images d'une époque où la Métropole exerçait un contrôle rigoureux sur la vie et le travail des indigènes. Contrôle accru à la suite de la grande crise économique de 1929 et poursuivi pendant la seconde guerre mondiale. Les conditions de vie des paysans dans le sud du Congo empiraient. A la misère, à la famine et aux châtiments répondaient la révolte des paysans qui tentaient de s'organiser contre l'administration coloniale. C'est la lutte pour l'indépendance qui commence et le désir violent d'affirmer une identité. Ce roman témoigne non seulement de la vitalité d'une enfance et d'une adolescence vécues dans un village, mais aussi de la résistance et de la ténacité d'un peuple.".

- catalog abstract "The ancient semantic paradoxes were thought to undermine the rationalist metaphysics of Plato, and their modern relatives have been used by Russell and others to administer some severe logical and epistemological shocks. These are not just tricks or puzzles, but are intimately connected with some of the liveliest and most basic philosophical disputes about logical form, universals, reference and predication. Dr Cargile offers here an original and sustained treatment of this range of issues, and in fact presents an unfashionable defence of a platonistic ontology. He argues that the paradoxes arise not from mistakes in classical assumptions about truth or from an ontology that includes propositions and properties, but from mistakes in describing what propositions and properties are conveyed by particular linguistic expressions. The book should interest, and may well surprise, philosophers and others concerned with semantics and the foundations of logic.".

Et pourtant beaucoup de confusion demeure sur les causes réelles du drame qu'ont connu, et que risquent de vivre à nouveau, les populations paysannes de la Mauritanie, du Sénégal, du Mali, de la Haute-Volta, du Niger et du Tchad. Les rapports entre sécheresse et famine sont abordés dans ces pages, à la fois par l'étude de l'histoire des peuples du Sahel et par l'analyse des phénomènes les plus récents, notamment ceux de la période 1972-1974. Le Niger, pays représentatif de l'ensemble sahélien, est pris plus particulièrement comme cas d'étude. Il en ressort que la famine n'est pas tant une calamité naturelle et une fatalité due au climat que la résultante d'une politique d'oppression et de domination sur les paysans et les éleveurs. Ce livre ouvre un dossier d'une importance vitale pour les peuples d'Afrique occidentale et centrale, premiers concernés par les effets de la famine. Il s'adresse également aux Occidentaux, et particulièrement aux Français, dont les liens avec le Sahel sont bien connus et où leur responsabilité est évidente.".
